When Life Gives You Lemons

So I was truly frustrated yesterday with my blog. I wrote yesterday actually but before I could post I had to do something that required me to save my draft and come back to it later. For some reason blogspot doesn't want me to see my drafts when I come back to finish what I started. Ugh to the max. So here are the facts in a short little list:

-Monday we spend the afternoon in Tyler where I spent 250 bucks on clothes o.O
-I cooked for me Jer, sis and her man the other day and it was wonderful.
-Yesterday I made these cinnamon apples from scratch with sis and they came out deliciously awesome
-I have officially started fifty shades of grey
-Me and Jer are thinking about new living arrangements once our lease is up in February

That last one has me excited. A place of our own, like literally of our own. I will gush later when we have more details and the months get closer.

On the moving note, my bestie Kourt has gotten a place with her man and they will officially be on their own too with their new bundle of joy. I told Kourt it is going to be nice and quiet with it just being those two. It is all so exciting. Sis and her man are looking at a place too and we are crossing our fingers that they get it. The grown up stuff like getting loans and stuff is what stinks half the time for getting a house. It is such a process. Why can't they just hand you the keys and a payment plan and bill you like getting a car? It's madness I tell you.

Charlie officially barks at people now. It's funny when he sees someone walking down the street or coming up to the house his ears perk up (and they are so freaking big lol) and he lets out a puppy-ish bark that is no where near sinisiter. My cousin made fun of me because I tell him not to bark at people and make him stop. What a great guard dog I am training up lol.

I Could Go For A Snooze

Right now I feel like I could go to bed as though it's 10 o'clock at night. It is actually about to be 4 so this won't do. Especially since I am at work. I have to get through today then I get the next 2 days off. I am so ready for my mini vacay. Sleeping in sounds wonderful at the moment. But I will make it just watch.

This morning I had thangs to do, specifically clean the house. I make a point to clean on days that I work because I don't wanna be doin that stuff on my days off ya know what I mean. So I got to it in our bathroom (where does all the hair come from o.O) and kitchen mainly. I even woke up early enough to make breakfast :)

Jer was at the store asking me on the phone if we needed anything. He wanted to get fancy this time and get 'special' eggs. I have no qualms with how different eggs taste. They are all the same to me. But he got these:

Pretty brown eggs :). I can't remember the last time I cracked open a brown egg. I guess they are better for you....or worse I don't know. Either way I was a bit too excited about them. So Jer made those up and I fixed a LOT of bacon. Even with our plates piled high from the first round of food there was not a slice of bacon left lol. I'd say breakfast well done :)

Charlie was being extremely lazy this morning, following me in every room only to find a patch of sun shining on the floor and curling up in it every time. I hated to keep leaving to do things because his ears pick up every freaking noise, and where ever I go he goes. I am just glad he wasn't freaking out over the broom when I swept. He absolutely hates the broom, and the vacuum of course. 

Guess I will catch up on this later. I am watching the olympics at work right now kind of but I really wanna just see the gymnastic part of it. I keep getting things like water polo and volleyball. Maybe it will come on today...

That really took me back, and I realize after about 15 questions I was over it lol. Why did I do those all the time back then? The younger me musta been booored!

Did I mention I had a diaper cake mishap? It actually fell apart (insert tears here). I was so freaking sad and definitely determined to get a stapler because it was obvious my ghetto-fied scotch tape wasn't gonna do it with that ribbon. The front of the cake is cute so who would guess that the back was a mass of tape and rubber bands lol. I tried sliding it across the table so we could have dinner and boom, disaster. Lucky me it was an easy fix. I stapled the ribbon together nice and tight and wala! I am a happy chick.

That's all for now. I am pooped from working at the nursing home all day. Those elderly people have needs like no other. I don't want to get old but it is inevitable I hear lol. I am gonna go watch a lil youtube...oh and work my actual job cuz that's where I am now ha! 

Holy Crap It's Friday!!

So Charlie is getting pretty good with the housebreaking I guess. I brag about him not going in the house for more than a few days hoping I don't jinx it. Now he sleeps with us at night. At least for the past 3 nights he has. I put him in his cage halfway through though just in case because I don't fully trust him yet. Jer has 100% confidence in him though so he let him run wild and free in our bedroom while he went to Dallas and I went to get my locks done this morning. Of course I was back first and after 3 and a half hours I was sure the room was going to look horrible. I opened our room door to find charlie buried in Jers covers on the bed looking straight up from what looked like a nap lol. He is so freaking lazy. This chick was very happy there was no mess to clean up! I guess he can be trusted after all.

I mentioned my baby fever being back in full swing on facebook and so I have been on the internet looking at all the things I wish I could get the bestie and sis, and dreaming of the future for me and Jer (of course). I am super interested in the trimesters and the changes you go through so I looked up pregnancy vlogs and found this one chick that is due in septemeber:

Anna Saccone (thestylediet) is my new addiction at the moment. She is going week by week starting with week 8 and I have been working my way down the list for about a day. Lucky me she also does tons of makeup videos which is right up my alley lol. So this has been what I have been indulging in besides studying for my CNA test which is looming ever closer.

I will forever be stuck on wanting a baby until I have one I guess. Somebody told me that. The only way to cure baby fever is to have one lol. I am hoping after the showers and births going on in the next couple of months I will settle down with it a little. It's fun to think about though. 

The betty crocker in me is coming out again. I am hell bent of some cheesecake with strawberries on top. I am usually against anything that isn't plain old cheesecake but for some reason I really want some with strawberries! Monday is the day. We will see how it goes.

Speaking of Being A Child

The other day when I took my lil peeps to the park Andrew said something that made me feel old.

Alyssa: Come on Buddy, come with us.
(I'm just sittin on a bench looking like 'what?')
Andrew: Alyssa she is a grown up, she isn't going to play with us

This is coming from the kid that won't call me Aunt cuz I was like 15 when he was born. I am officially an adult to him and it feels so strange. 22 got here way too fast. I actually think about being an adult waay too hard but I am here now and there is no going back to the 90's to relive the good ol days lol.

Speaking of, I found this pic of books that I would love to give to my kids, whenever I get some that is lol:

I read all this when I was little, the scary one freaked me out though (I was in jr high then but who knows, it might freak me out now too ha!) but I will get my kids Scary Stories anyways. They will probably be more fearless like their father (hopefully lol) There are actually a ton of books I'd like to get eventually. For now me and Jer only have adult-ish books. Not the sexy kind lol but I am sure little ones won't be that into the Ellen Hopkins series. (Crank, Glass, and all of those books)

Anywho, today was a good one. Me and Charlie were lazy all morning until I finally pulled myself out of bed for a plate of bacon, which we shared a itty bitty bit. Cuz that's all you need for breakfast honestly. Sis came over for an hour and when Jer got home we watched a movie until it was time for me to come to work. Guess who hasn't peed in the house for 3 days!!? Yep we hit a set back not to long ago but I am celebrating anyways because me not having to clean up doggie doo in the house is amazingly refreshing lol.

There he is with me lazying in the bed lol. One of his ears is always floppy when he wakes up in the morning. Oh how I wish they would stay that way. But I love him anyways, antennae and all lol.

When I Was Your Age

I remember being a little naive kid that just wanted to play play play. Who had time for boys when all of your homies were playing red rover or hide and seek. I didn't have a care in the world for boys when I was 7, so I thought it was super cute and funny when my little nephew called Alyssa his girlfriend. Does he even know what that really means? lol I am going to guess he knows a smidgen but being a bf/gf is way different when you are that young, lemme tell ya lol.

They met each other during my wedding since she was my flower girl and he was the ring bearer. I didn't see much of them except for when they danced together a little. Who knew that would be all it took for them to like each other. Andrew ended up asking for her phone number the next time I had seen him and they wrote letters back and forth to each other (omg who knew people still wrote through the postal service lol)

The other day I got a call from one of my nieces that lives here and she told me he was down for a visit and the first thing he asked was to see Alyssa O.O. Of course I would let them see each other, I thought it was the sweetest thing lol.

There are the love birds, just haangin out. We agreed no smooching or funny business, or rather her dad told her no smooching or funny biz. No skirts or dresses either according to Pops lol. They were good little ones though, playing ds and taking pics of each other ha!

Then since and hour just wasn't long enough, you should have seen the eyes on those two when I had to seperate em, I picked them both up the next morning for a trip to the park. They were ecstatic.

I could not keep up with either of them they ran so freaking much.

 But its cool, I just sat at a table with Charlie, his first time at the park yay. So while Charlie dug his head in dirt (eew) Alyssa and Drew played multiple games for an hour. To be honest it was tough to just sit there while they played. I am super thankful for cellphones and the app market, I was bored! This is what adults go through for their little ones to have a good time at the park. Who knew.

I wonder if these kids have any idea what cooties are lol. I did when I was little but it seems that has gone completely out the window for these two. It's cool though, Alyssa actually made a face when I told her she better not be kissing on him. It is obviously gross and I should've known better.

That was my fun couple of days, now its back to real life (work mainly). Oh Jer and I took a trip to Dallas last night and made it back before midnight. Jerman was our driver and Nicole sat with me in the back, what did we do up there in the middle of the night? Absolutely nothing! We stopped at a 7-eleven and I got a thick hotdog....that was it. I was out on our way back too. Shortest visit I have ever made to DTown by far.

So I'm Not An Electrician

Who knew that there were intricate type things to think about when using a window unit. I am super glad we got one to cool off our hot-box of a house but someone could have warned me.

What went down was me deciding to wash my hair before work, and since air drying was not an option in my hour and a half window of time, I grabbed my hair dryer ready to get things done. Didn't think the power would go out but 30 seconds of me using my hair tool caused the half of the house I was on to go completely dark...oops.

I stood there like an idiot not knowing what to do. Usually when the lights go out it is from a storm and they come back on themselves. I didn't even know where the breaker box was, so Jer came to the rescue. Lucky him, the power didn't shut down in the living room because he was in the middle of some new 360 game and I know I would've never heard the end of it o.O. All is well and fixed though, and thankfully I got to finish my nappy head before going to work.

I know I said I was back on the daily. And I am, but the day I said that I lost my power cord to my computer! I was pretty upset about that until I reached into my purse for my wallet the next day and felt the power cord at the bottom. Thats when I felt kind of ridiculous for not checking there lol.

It is in the middle of the night right now and I am only awake because of work. Yep I am stuck here until 7 in the morning. Night shift really throws off my comprehension of what day of the week it is. When I talk to peeps I have to think before I say the wrong day. I bees throwed off yo lol. Today is the last one for a week I hope. Back to afternoons I go.

Just to update you, my CNA class is almost over (as is the summer for school term peeps) so my test is just around the corner. Wish me luck that I pass but I am pretty confident on this one. I just have to focus and not be so nervous. I got it fo sho. Charlie is done with the vet for a whole year so I won't know his weight for a while. I think he has hit the 4-5 lb mark :) but I will post it as soon as I find out. I get so excited when our baby gets bigger and bigger. All my prego peeps are getting showy and nearing their due dates fast. There are gonna be quite a few new little faces to smile at soon and I am ready for all of that too. Hmmmm did I forget anything.

Well since my noggin is on snail mode I will just go for now. Tomorrow for sure :)
